短文理解1
Passage 1
I never used to go anywhere without the car. I regarded it as an essential part of myself.
But when the price of gas doubled in this year, I decided not to use the car except when
absolutely necessary.
For example, I always used to take the car when I went to fetch the papers on Sunday
mornings, although our newsagent's is only 10 minutes' walk away. Now I go on foot.
I tell myself that I'm not only saving the gas but keeping fit at the same time. It's all a
question of habit really. I'm sure you can get used to anything if you try and already feel that
I rely on the car less than I used to.
Besides, now that we live in the suburbs, I can walk down the road and catch a bus to
the office or to any part of the town. We used to live in the country about 15 miles from
town and then I would frequently drive to and fro twice in one day. That meant I would use
15 gallons of oil or more in a week. Now I only need half that amount.
The trouble is that I am also getting used to the gas prices. They don't seem so high to
me any more. Perhaps it is easier to get used to expensive gas than it is to doing without
the ear.
Questions 26--30 are based on Passage 1.
26. When the price of gas doubled in this year, the author decided
A. to go everywhere without a car
B. only to take the car to fetch the papers
C. to use the car when he had to
D. to go on foot everywhere
27. In the sentence "It's all 'a question of habit really," the pronoun "It" refers to
A. saving the gas
B. keeping fit
C. not only saving the gas but keeping fit at the same time
D. not relying too much on the car
28. To go to the newsagent's to get his newspaper, the author
A. used to walk for 10 minutes B. used to drive his car
C. walked down the road to the office D. walked for 10 minutes to keep fit
29. We know from the passage that the author
A. is getting used to living in the country about 15 miles from town
B. used to go to and come back from town twice a day by car
C. usually buys 15 gallons of oil or more in a week
D. only spends 7.5 pounds on gas now
30. The last sentence of the passage suggests that
A. the author still can not get used to doing without the car
B. the author feels that the high price of gas is a great problem
C. it is easy to use gas at high prices
D. the price of gas is not high any more

Welcome to San Francisco
Native American tribes lived on the land now known as California before the 1500s until
the Spanish eolonised the area in the 17th century. They gave San Francisco its name. Gold
was discovered in the nearby hills in 1848, starting the Gold Rush, when poor people came
from all over the world to make their fortune. The vast mix of races has probably
contributed to its famous liberal attitude, shown by the beat generation, hippies and the largest gay community in the world.
Hotels range from the luxurious (you can stay in The Hyatt on Union Square, which is
expensive) to the basic (Gold Rush Hostel, which is cheap youth dormitories or simple
rooms). San Francisco Guest Services, situated at the airport, can help you to book ahead.
You can eat every type of food cooked by nearly every ethnic group in the world because
they all live in San Francisco: Italian, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese are all here--at every
price from 5-star restaurants to tiny street stalls. But best of all is the seafood, which comes
fresh from the Pacific Ocean and is on your table in minutes.
The most famous sight in San Francisco is the Golden Gate Bridge. Also don't miss a
boat trip to the island prison of Alcatraz--from which no one has ever escaped alive,
although a few tried to swim across the freezing bay through the dangerous currents to reach
the mainland. Boats leave every forty-five minutes, but booking is essential. Take a walk
through Chinatown in the centre of the city. Chinatown was started by Chinese immigrants
in the first days of the Gold Rush, and is now a vast city within a city. Here Chinese is still
spoken in every shop, restaurant and temple every day. Get onto the cable cars and ride up
and down San Francisco' s famous hills, ring the bell and hang on the sides. At only $1
it's the cheapest thrill in the world.
Drive along the coast to the north of the city into wine country, where you can taste and
buy the finest Californian wines, or take an eight-hour boat trip far from the coast to see the
biggest mammal of all the time -- the blue whale.
Fact file
By air
San Francisco International Airport -- 14 miles south of the city. Accessible by bus and
shared-taxi service.
Oakland International Airport -- further from the city, but easily reached by a Rapid
Transport Link.
By sea
Cruise ships of five major cruise lines arrive at Pier 35 in San Francisco Bay.
By car
San Francisco is on Highway 101 over the Golden Gate and Interstate 80 over the Bay
Bridge.
Questions 31--35 are based on Passage 2.
31. San Francisco got its name from
A. native Americans B. Spanish colonists
C. modern Americans D. British colonists

Francisco is the most famous v
